post gear?

I certainly hit a DPS wall in act3 cruel as well.

I picked up a ~220 dps dagger around level 50 and it picked up for a bit again.

I am guessing it won't sky rocket till we use abysssus

Current gear looks like this



i got this gear waiting on me to level



coil is a work in progress atm with jewelers orbs

thank you for this build !

I just have a small question, is the build still good using a claw ? I'm asking because I have a really good one in my stash (250dps + 6% life leech + lightning res)

Is there a reason to use daggers in particular ?

thx in advance

I think the inspiration for daggers was the fact that there are a lot of easy nodes for them on the way to EB and around EB

Interesting build and might try this one out, though I have some questions for you, petrov.


1. Do you find that minimal shield block investment is fine and should just be avoided, or would some additional block be a good idea?

2. Would it be better to go for say an Archon shield as a potential choice if you need the inherent all resist that it offers instead of going for a pure ES shield?

3. In terms of running Arctic Armor, is there a sweet spot you should shoot for depending on how much MR you can get, or is it possible to run it at max?

4. How high into maps have you gone with this build and at any point has there been any damage/mobs that you felt really threatened by?

Thanks in advance! :)

Howdy Tanakeah.

1. Interesting question re block. While block can be an amazing defence, I think given this is mostly a ranged build, building around block (which requires a fair bit of innestment) is probably not worth it. Especially with VP.

2. If you can find an Archon shield with great ES, then, YES! I sadly don't have an Archon shield in Domination which has great ES and + life.

3. Hmm. AA is good, but it's a luxury. I think how you level it depends on how much mana regen you have. The last position you want to be in is that you run out of mana with no mana pots. That means less effective HP, no attack, no leech => dead.

4. Shrine Piety in a -resistance and vuln map pwned me. I played silly and tried to face tank her.

I've also done a variation of this build now built around Reave, which is pretty similar but more classic melee. I will update the OP to show two builds - after all, this build as I said in the OP isn't really focused on LS per se, it's easily adaptable to toher skills (like Reave).

Petrov.
